Yokohama Rubber in CDP’s A list on climate change

Hiratsuka, Japan—The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced that it has once again been recognized for leadership in corporate sustainability by the global environmental non-profit CDP, which on February 6 named Yokohama Rubber to its A List of companies receiving the highest score for their leadership in environmental transparency and climate change. Yokohama Rubber’s selection recognizes its efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate climate change risks, and disclose highly transparent information, based on its responses to the CDP’s 2024 climate change questionnaire. This is Yokohama Rubber’s third-straight and sixth time on the A list.

CDP runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, states and regions. Founded in 2000, it has motivated companies to disclose their environmental impacts, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water resources and protect forests. CDP scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions towards a zero carbon, sustainable and resilient economy. In 2024, more than 24,800 companies around the world and more than 2,100 companies in Japan, including more than 70% of companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Prime Market, responded to CDP’s questionnaire on environmental disclosures.

Under the sustainability slogan “Caring for the Future,” Yokohama Rubber is creating shared value by addressing social issues through its business activities.
